    agreement (KRS 355.2A-504) or otherwise determined pursuant to agreement of the

    lessee makes a tender of the goods to the lessor;

    (b) The present value as of the date determined under clause (a) of the total rent

    for the then remaining lease term of the original lease agreement minus the

    present value as of the same date of the market rent at the place where the

    would have made from full performance by the lessee, together with any incidental

    damages allowed under KRS 355.2A -530, due allowance for costs reasonably

    incurred and due credit for payments or proceeds of disposition.
